Alcat Testing

The ALCAT Test is a type of food sensitivity testing that identifies cellular reactions to over 350 foods, chemicals and herbs. These inflammatory reactions are linked to chronic health problems like obesity and diabetes, as well as skin, heart, joint, and digestive disorders.

A nurse will be sent to your home to take blood samples which will then be sent off to a lab for testing.

Message

Food and Chemical sensitivities are mediated by multiple pathogenic mechanisms. By using the cellular approach, instead of a single antibody such as IgG, the Alcat Test can identify food and chemical sensitivities regardless of the pathway (immunologic, toxic, pharmacologic).

Generally speaking test results will come back within 2 to 3 weeks.

Message

Test results are sent back to your practitioner who will then schedule a follow-up visit with you to go over the results and prescribe a nutritional protocol based on results.

If possible do not take medications or supplements 3 hours before blood draw OR take medications and supplements/vitamins after the blood draw. Please mention if you taking antihistamines, steroid medications, antibiotics, or anti-coagulants.
